Resolution Solution

Ahhhh…the New Year! A fresh start, the turning of a (calendar) page and another shot at those dang resolutions, which are not unlike babies in that they are fun to make, but difficult to maintain, right?

There are, however, tons of little, easy changes that you can make (and call resolutions) that together can add up to a healthier you. Pick a few of these, and feel better – honestly!

**Drink more water!  See what I mean? Ta – dum!

** Take the stairs instead of elevators or escalators.

**Consider forgoing meat once a week by participating in Meatless Monday (that burger will still be there on Tuesday). Your budget, your health and the environment will thank you.  

** Walk or ride your bike instead of driving short distances.  Driving down the street to play with your kids at the park? Really?

**Get on a solid sleep schedule. I know – easier said than done, but listen to your natural sleeping patterns and adjust accordingly. Aim for seven hours of sleep each night.

**Give your body more vitamin D by spending time outside but remember the sunscreen!

**Try meditating or taking a yoga class – great stress busters!

** BREATHE! Sounds like a no brainer, but when was the last time you really thought about breathing deeply?  

**Smile more often – it’s good for you! Call me if you need me to tell you a lame joke to help this happen. 

YOU CAN DO THIS! GOOD LUCK! GOOD HEALTH! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
